Towering Talent

Carlos Alberto Ibay is a bona fide prodigy. He can sing like an opera star in seven languages, and he provides his own piano accompaniment. Now 27, Ibay has been hitting the ivories since he was 2, and his ability to channel the classical giants has taken him around the world. And there’s one more thing: Ibay is blind. He performs today at 2:30 in the Rose Theater at Rockhurst High School (9301 State Line Road). Admission costs $25. The event is a fundraiser for the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, who are building a new monastery. For more information, call 816-445-2063.
